Sweet November Stamps ~ Joyful Gatherings YouTube Hop

Today we’re kicking off a super fun Sweet November Stamps YouTube Hop to celebrate the brand-new Joyful Gatherings clear stamp release… and I’m joining in with a festive card featuring the absolutely adorable Wee Tree Trimmers set!

These little elves are busy decking out their Christmas tree, and I had the best time bringing their cheerful holiday energy to life.

✨ My Card for the Hop

For my project, I stamped all three of the sweet little elf characters around their beautifully decorated tree. Everything is colored up with Copic Markers, keeping the palette bright, bold, and full of Christmas joy.

To create the glowing background, I ink-blended Distress Oxide inks in warm yellows to mimic that magical holiday tree-light glow. I framed the panel with a fun torn-edge die cut and set the whole scene on top of a fresh green patterned paper to tie the colors together.

The sentiment “Christmas is love with all the trimmings” (also from the set!) finishes everything off perfectly.

🎁 Join the Hop!

The hop runs Sunday, November 16th through Wednesday, November 19th, and Sweet November is giving away one full clear stamp release set to a lucky winner! Make sure you hop along, watch the videos, comment, and show our designers some love for your chance to win.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Summer Adventures YouTube Hop! **PRIZE**

The brand new Summertime Adventures clear stamp release from Sweet November Stamps is here, and we’re kicking it off with a magical YouTube Hop! ☀️🏖️✨

I’m sharing a bright and playful card featuring the adorable August Peridot Dragon from the new clear release! This sweet little dragon is ready to spread cheer with a giant gem and a grin to match.

To create the warm sunset background, I blended Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks, letting the glow bring our dragon to life. I used the Fantasy Post Marks stamp set to add some fun postcard vibes, and the tiny “stamp” in the corner comes from the Dragon Trio stamp set — a perfect match for our postcard-style card!

🐉💎 “You’re a rare gem, my friend.” 💎🐉
What a sweet sentiment for a treasured pal!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Cuddly Critters

Happy Saturday!  I have a few more Christmas creations from Sweet November Stamps to share.

Today's card features the adorable singing cuties from the "From Me to You" stamp set.

I began by making the blended background using Distress Oxide inks and some CP Uptown ink splatter.

Then I stamped my two pairs of cuddly critters using a light Simon Says Stamp Fog ink.

I colored up my little penguin and polar bear pairs using Copic Markers.

Lastly, I stamped the trees from the "Horizon Lines: Winter Wonderland" and colored it with Copics.

If you'd like to see the process of a very similar card, check out my YouTube Video HERE!

A very cute card result!  Have a great weekend!

Sweet November stamps & Craft Roulette - Thank CHOO!

Howdy!!  Hope you're having a great weekend!  Today's card is this week's entry for Craft Roulette.  This will be my 53rd submission.

The four parameters that the wheel gave us this week were:

• Project: Thank you card (Thank CHOO!)
  
• Colors: Roadside Marketplace (lots of fun vegetable colors in there!)
  
• Element: Yard(s) (Train yard)
  
• Random: Confetti (Shiny silver snowy confetti)
  

So this week's card features some of the new stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps!  This stamp set is called "Sweet Treat Express".

I had fun masking off the train pieces and inking up that background.

Here's another few close ups..

I created a custom sentiment to go along with the "thank you card" theme!

If you'd like to check out how I colored in this furry filled slimline card creation, visit my YouTube channel right HERE for a coloring video.
